Cuba. Trump. They extend the sanctions, not making it easier. Okay. Rubio is apparently going to be leading this case with Cuba, which makes sense. Rob, what page is that on there? Page 10. Trump teases US will be taking over Cuba almost immediately. Is this it, Rob? Yes, sir. Go for it. An architect who's really talented. He's done a lot of work for him. He's got a flare, a beautiful Hispanic flare in particular. And he comes from originally a place called Cuba, which we will be taking over almost immediately. No, Cuba's Cuba's got problems. We'll finish one first. I like to finish the job. On the way back from what we'll do, on the way back from Iran, we'll have one of our big maybe the USS

Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, the biggest in the world. will have that come in stopped about a 100 yards offshore the weave and they'll say thank you very much we give UP top you love you're loving this why well because you know what I'll tell you I've um uh I went to high school down here last two years of high school people know I was in Bocon then I went back to LA uh California where I was born and what was interesting is at that time I remember um meeting people and that were from Cuba and these were uh fellow classmates and they told me about their parents and grandparents and they told me about Castro and they told me about also about the Mario boat lift of which was uh lightly featured and

reflected on at the beginning of the movie Scarface where all people came here and these people have lived in Cuba that have been stuck there unable to live leave. It's been horrible. And I've been looking forward to a day where Cuba would have freedom. So people that were here that I spoke to that said, "I wish I could go there see an aunt. I wish I could go there see an uncle." And you probably have lots of friends like this, Adam, in Miami says, "I wish we could go back there." Well, my grandma can't get out, but everybody's there. It's not great, but she doesn't really want to, you know, leave. and what I see in here, it's time to, you know, turn the page on Castro's Cuba and

see if we can give, you know, freedom and trade and tourism, you know, to between Cuba and the United States. And I hope it happens. Now, do I want it to happen at the barrel of a gun? No. But, you know, does it need to happen with maybe impending some impending threat like says, "Hey, I think it's time you got your act together and we'd like to do this." You know, I like it. Would I like to see Cuba similar to Puerto Rico where people could come and go and we would provide some protection to it? Sure, I would. You know, do I want it to see be suddenly a sinkhole of US dollar and um and foreign aid

that just goes into a hole? No, I don't want to see that. But I think it's it sits there 90 miles. You can go to the end of um Key West at the southernmost point in America. There's this big concrete um uh like a boy that stands there. It's like this monument and then it says southernmost point and right at the bottom of it says on one side it says 90 miles to Cuba. There it is. There it has been standing down there. People take pictures of this Pat whenever they're down there. 90 miles to Cuba. So 90 miles from freedom people have been down there and I'd like to see it happen. And I'd like to see it

happen in a methodical way that gives opportunity to people and they could develop because $40 a gallon embargoed gas that you only pay for if you desperately need it right now is not a way to go. And I think it's time that we said enough. You know, we're going to help you and we're going to bring these people. So many families, so many citizens are here in Miami. I like to see it happen, but I want it to be methodical and I want them to have opportunity. Adam, look, I love Cuban. And I love the Cubans people. I call myself Cuban because I grew up in Miami and I'm Jewish and basically speak Spanish. So shout out to Miente in Miami and in Cuba. Cuba's on its last leg. And I

would love to see Trump finish the job. And I think Marco Rubio is going to be the guy that basically puts the nail in the coffin. Look, you know, I take my Ubers every single day. You know, every day it's either a Cuban driver or a Venezuelan driver and I ask them the same thing. It's the same question. And I joke with them. I go fidel communism. And the guy driving looks back goes, no. I go, "No, communism socialism bueno." He, "Hey, hey, no, it's no good." And I'm joking with him like, "No, socialism's good. Fidel is good." One guy goes, "Hey, you got to get out of my car." I go, "I'm sorry, sir." You know, I have my

And then he got out and he took a crap on the freeway. The other guy and I give him my I give him American flag pin. Not one, and I kid you not, not one Cuban I know, and I know thousands in Miami, not one goes, "Oh, bro, we love what Fidel Castro has done to Cuba." Not one. Every single person wants America to finish the job. Cuba deserves better. Rob, I don't know if we have 10 seconds. I went to Cuba for Keith's bachelor party. This is the second Keith shout out today. When I talk about a city crumbling, this is the downtown center of the city. Look at these buildings. There's a couple other pictures here. They're living in the 50s. Every single car that they have is a 1950s Thunderbird or I don't know if

Robbie, but anything you got. So, we can either do this with a carrot or with the stick. Here's the Unfortunately, we might have to do That's me with my driver and my bodyguard in the back. Every car looks like this. So if you're like if you enjoy history and you want to see what it's like in the 1950s, go to Cuba. This is their downtown capital under construction. The whole place is falling apart. They deserve better. Let's get No, that's it's something different. Let's get a little capitalism and less socialism in Cuba. Well, Liberta, Cuba, listen, it's great. A lot of things cooking. If the president gets uh a lot of these deals done post World Cup, it's going to be a very difficult time for

all his haters. If he gets a lot of these things done post World Cup, it's going to be a very, very annoying season for all the people who hate him from the left, right, or the center. They're going to be hating life for all the people that says if he gets it done. The key word is what? If that's a heavy word, Vinnie. That's a we'll see. That's right, Tom. That's a heavy word. Cuba is more like a Venezuela. It's not a lot eas. I want to hear commentary from the public. We want to get feedback on what things can happen better with PBD podcast.
